The chickens have been moved into their new digs for about two weeks now. There was, as one might expect, a bit of a kerfuffle over being moved, but they seem quite happy in their bigger space and to be enjoying their roosts. Infuriatingly, I lost the photos of Tres' construction (just one of what I'm sure will be many digital goof ups on my part), but you can still see the finished product.
Unfortunately, their move coincided with about a week and a half of very wintry weather, so despite having access to the outside for the first time, they haven't been very inclined to get out there. Luckily, the snow finally melted and we had a beautiful sunny day yesterday, which encouraged the first exploring we've seen. Considering that they've only seen the inside of a box and two small buildings thus far, it must blow their little minds (to be fair, I have serious doubts about the existence of much mind in there at all, but that's another matter . . .).
the one on the left looks weird and
contorted,but she's just taking a dust bath
I know this has been pretty chicken-heavy lately. There should be news to report on the home-front soon and, after Christmas, I'll post about what I've been up to around here lately.
